Deep Green, Dark Gray

It's been hot and humid here in the NY metro area lately, the sort of weather that causes even guys like me to have a bad hair day. Yesterday, it must have rained hard during the midday hours, because there were residual puddles on the ground. It was a good day for amphibians, and the amphibians were out in force in the evening.

Right outside the building, I saw a frog which, judging buy its size, was probably a common green frog (Rana clamitans) or a small bullfrog (bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana)- in all the confusion, I didn't pay attention to whether or not it had the green frog's dorsolateral ridges. At any rate, it was considerably smaller than this behemoth, which was as big as my fist.
